So after unpacking and lying everything out I dove in and started with the main landing gear. First I sealed the wood and covering edges under the gear with thinned down epoxy. I then mounted the carbon fiber gear. I replaced the factory wheels with light Whiterose 5” chrome wheels and titanium axels. The axels use a C clip instead of wheel collars making it fare more reliable.

I also changed out the standard wheel pants for Spats. I like the custom look and it shows those cool wheels off.  It will also work better for flying off grass. The tires are low profile so I used Spats designed for a 37% airplane in order to make a close fit and clean look.

I mounted the Whiterose light tail wheel. It’s larger than the factory one and I had to shorten it a ½” in order to put the wheel in the best location for steering. If I put it to far back the tail will over steer.  It raised the tail by ¾” but I wanted extra strength on it and I think it will work out great.

I am at a standstill on the rubber trying to figure out how I am going to customize the servo set up. I don’t want to use cables. I want to use a push/pull rear servo mount system and with the room under the stab it could be difficult. I may just pass on the rudder for a couple days and come back to it.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy it.
